Is there anything cooler than a Moon Day? I think not. That two extra hours of sleep really makes me happy. I actually feel awake this morning. I wonder if Guruji has anything to say about sleep–whether 8 hours is optimal, whether an attachment to sleep might be a problem, etc. I know I’ve read that the Dalai Lama sleeps very little. How does someone get into the swing of that, I wonder? I had a professor in grad school who could never sleep more than 4 or 5 hours a night. He thought it was something of a curse, to so often be awake when everyone around him was asleep. I thought it was pretty cool, though. Think of all the extra things you could get done. And I remember his home, which was always incredibly clean. I guess at a certain point, all that’s left to do in the middle of the night is dust every surface in your house.

I’m older, so when is this need for less sleep going to happen?! I don’t feel cranky with less sleep, just kind of stupid. Like my brain isn’t quite turned up all the way. Luckily I do the important stuff (practice) before the less important stuff (work) 😉
